>&#13;      Since Bugzilla 2.20 RC1, legal values for Operating Systems, platforms,
      bug priorities and severities can be edited from the User Interface
      directly. This means that it is no longer required to manually edit
      <TT
CLASS="filename"
>localconfig</TT
>. Starting with Bugzilla 2.23.3, 
      the list of valid resolutions can be customized from the same interface.
      Since Bugzilla 3.1.1 the list of valid bug statuses can be customized
      as well.

        Select "Legal Values" from the Administration page. A list of all
        fields, both system fields and Custom Fields, for which legal values
        can be edited appears. Click a field name to edit its legal values.

>&#13;        There is no limit to how many values a field can have, but each value 
        must be unique to that field. The sortkey is important to display these
        values in the desired order.

><OL
TYPE="1"

>The value is not used by default for the field.</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>No bug is currently using this value.</P
></LI
></OL
><P
>&#13;        If any of these conditions is not respected, the value cannot be deleted.
	The only way to delete these values is to reassign bugs to another value
	and to set another value as default for the field.
